Hi! I'm Christina, and welcome to my yoga YouTube channel, ChriskaYoga! In today's video, I am sharing my journey towards running basically from couch to 5k in the form of 7 tips and pieces of advice on how to start running for beginners.

I just recently started running, and I have managed to significantly improve my time and distance that I can now run. I just wanted to share my experience and some tips that I picked up during my first month and a half of training.

I will be running a 10k race coming up towards the end of this year, so I still have a long way to go, but in the span of about 5 weeks, I went from being able to run less than .5 miles to running over 3 miles (running the entire 3 miles a.k.a. 5k).

Hi! I'm Christina, and welcome to ChriskaYoga! In today's video, I am sharing all the things that I think would be EXCELLENT holiday gifts for the yoga-lover, yogi, or yoga teacher in your life.

The things that I mention are ALL things that I own and love myself. To be honest, most of them, I actually bought for myself and have accumulated over time. They aren't terribly expensive, so they're pretty affordable. This way, you can bundle some of them together and get someone multiple things.

For instance, you can get the essential oil diffuser and a set of essential oils. Another thing you could do is get someone a yoga props kit including a yoga strap, yoga blocks, a yoga blanket, and a yoga bolster. You can get someone a restorative yoga kit with a yoga blanket, a yoga bolster, and an eye pillow. The possibilities are endless!!

I really hope that you found this video helpful! This video is NOT SPONSORED and the opinions that I expressed are 100% my own. The link that I provided to purchase the things that I mentioned if you choose to do so is a link to my Amazon shop where I received a very (VERY) small portion of the sale if you choose to purchase through this link.

Whether you get these gifts or not, I hope you have an AMAZING holiday season!

Hi! I'm Christina, and welcome to my yoga YouTube channel, ChriskaYoga! Today I am sharing a 7 Minute Guided Gratitude Meditation. This one is great for cultivating the positive feelings of gratitude and allowing it to lift your spirits!

I always love to practice gratitude, but especially around this time of year. With the holidays coming up and Thanksgiving in the U.S., it's the perfect time of year to celebrate all the things you're grateful for.

This is a great visualization meditation to help you think of something that you are thankful for and feel the thankful and grateful feelings in your body! You can do this meditation in savasana, sukhasana, or sitting in a chair with your feet flat on the ground and spine straight.

I really hope you enjoy this meditation, and for those who are celebrating, Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hi! I'm Christina, and welcome to my yoga YouTube channel, ChriskaYoga! Today, I am sharing a 40 Minute Yoga Flow for Gratitude! This is a Thanksgiving yoga flow that will be very gentle, slow, fluid, and flowing. Helping you to feel great inside and out!

This yoga routine will help you to feel grateful while you are flowing through the movement. It's a great way to cultivate feelings of gratitude, which is a great thing to do during this time of the year.

Gratitude is something that many of us neglect because we are so worried about our lives and what's going on. However, if we take the time to feel grateful for all the things we have in our lives, we are guaranteed to feel so much happier overall.
